The [[Men of Letters]]' Bunker is located in Lebanon, Kansas, the geographic center of the contiguous lower 48 states of the United States. Here, they stored their collected knowledge of "every object, scroll, spell ever collected for thousands of years under one roof... the safest place on earth, warded against any evil ever created."<ref>[[8.12 As Time Goes By]]</ref> The [[witch]] [[Olivette]] revealed to [[Rowena]] that there is not just one bunker but several scattered around the world.<ref>[[10.16 Paint It Black]]</ref> [[Mick Davies]] later reveals to the Winchesters that the [[key to the Bunker]] opens up every chapter house of the Men of Letters chapter house in the world.<ref>[[12.17 The British Invasion]]</ref>
The Bunker took three years to build and was completed in 1935. The style of architecture and decoration in the Bunker is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Deco Art Deco] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_Progress_Administration WPA] style.<ref>[[9.04 Slumber Party]]</ref> The Men of Letter's crest, the [[Aquarian Star]] appears as a motif, such as in the floor tiles and on the telephones.
